A couple of issues with Battery drain & ABS
Ok guys I did own a 92 Firebird and sold it and bought a 95 Trans am with the LT1 and its been a blast this past summer, but now that winter has kicked in the car isnt acting right at all. Now I know its not a 3rd gen but any help would be great.
Issues= Battery is now being drained within 2 days. Ive removed the battery and alt and both tested perfect. Now Ive checked the fuses and now I keep getting a blown 20 amp fuse going to the air pump. Now Im not sure but does this air pump have something to do with the Abs system. The car stops fine. Now the car doesnt have a full blown alarm system but a start kill which needs to be disabled if you enter the car and close the door and you have 45 seconds so not sure if this could be draining the battery and it was fine through summer. Now I have been able to check to see under the steering wheel and see if there is a wire or something shorting out. So any help or maybe another forum that can steer me in the right direction.
Thanks

Possibly alternator.
Check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. Should be around 14V.

It has been checked. Ive removed both and had them tested and they have been tested while the car is running. Reading 14volts. Yes I know its a82-92 site and Im still a member but I know own a 95 TA. Just need some info to help me with this issues. Also any idea why my air pump fuse keeps blowning out. It will be good for a day or so then it blows it.
